Magical Tip of the Week May 5th, 2023

We all have a magic in us. For some it is a smile or the right words at the right time. For others it is manifestation and divine readings. This segment is all about sharing  something magical from the prior week.

*Making tea is so much easier than I thought, and drinking tea mixtures I've made myself makes me feel more magical.*

If you have a pot and running water, you can make your own teas. I don't know why I thought it required more than this, but it really doesn't. I recently have been learning more about health and wellness, and one part of my wellness journey is taking herbs and eating more fruits and vegetables. I started eating more vegetables and fruits, but I felt like I was producing way more waste. I had a hard time figuring out what I could do with the scraps until I realized I could boil them in water and make tea/juice. I throw things into a pot and just drink the juice often now. I also throw any fruits and veggies that are about to go bad into my juicer and drink that. This has helped me get more nutrients from my food and eat everything I buy. I have been buying more and more fresh herbs and spices to cook with and make wellness teas. The process of making teas is similar to boiling my scraps. I throw various fruits and spices into a bot and boil them for my wellness.  I'll list 3 tea mixtures that I have really began to love these past few weeks. I hope you try them. If you do and you like them, leave a comment below. Also, feel free to share your own favorite tea mixtures. 

1. Apple Cider Vinegar+ Lemon+ Ginger+ Honey (great for digestion)
2. Hibiscus+ Lime+ Honey+ Green Tea (morning time)
3. Chamomile+ Lavender+ Star Anise (great at bedtime)

ProTip: Do not over cook herbs. Overcooking will kill some of the nutrients.

Take the Next Step

 Take the Next Step When I do not know what to do, I choose to do one thing that feels right. Sometimes it is making a cup of tea or calling a friend. I do not always know what to do, but that does not keep me from doing something. There is always a step that can be taken. For me, low stakes actions are so comforting. I can do one small thing for my health that leads to major differences. I crave a sense of control, and knowing that I can do one small thing that helps me feel in control is so affirming. Taking a shower, calling a friend, reading a book, or choosing to rest. By setting an alarm for 30 minutes or 1 hour, I feel accomplished. I feel like I made a choice for my wellness. To anyone that feels like that I losing control, I challenge you to take one step. Taken whatever step you need for your wellness. Light a candle, cry, curse, or take a break. Whatever your next step is, make it consciously and confidently because it is your choice. You get to take back control of your...

Feelings are Temporary. I have been in therapy for years, but this week the most groundbreaking sentence was said to my by my therapist. She told me that feelings are temporary, but what we believe is long lasting. I have always had big, all-consuming feelings. I have a hard time separating my feelings from the feelings of those around me. I have a hard time coming back down after working myself up, but this small shift in thinking has truly helped. She made it very clear that my affirmations are my beliefs despite what I am feelings when I say them. I believe that I have peace, I am beautiful, I am abundant, I am loved, I am healthy, I am enough, and that I have genuine community. I tell myself these things regularly. I believe these things to be true, but I often feel things that challenge these beliefs. I sometimes feel frustrated or that I am lacking in some are, but that does not change my core belief that I have peace and I am abundant. I may feel at odds with a member of my comm...

-
 The holidays are complicated; especially when you're in your 20s. The stage of life that you are in may vary drastically depending on a variety of things. People may consider you hard to shop for. People may not know what to get you. So many people ask me what I want for birthdays, holidays, and other important events. I am working on compiling a list of practical gifts for people in a stage of life similar to mine. I am a 20 something. I have a dog. I live alone. When I'm not working, I am spending time with my friends and family. I prioritize self care. I have a variety of hobbies, and its sometimes hard for the people around me to keep track of where I am, what I'm doing, and why. If this is you or anyone you know, keep reading. You will probably find something you'll love.  1. Apple Air Tag I'm a busy lady, and I forget things. I have the apple watch and an iphone, so I'm constantly pinging my phone.
